EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Introduction: The $0.75 million Karnataka Integrated Urban Water Management Investment Program (KIUWMIP, the Program) was initiated by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) with the Government of India (GoI) on Dec 30th 2014 with aims to improve water resource management in urban areas in a holistic and sustainable manner consistent with the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM). Investment support is being provided to modernize and expand urban water supply and sanitation (UWSS), and strengthen institutions to improve water use efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Assistance under the first phase will be used to expand and upgrade water supply and sanitation infrastructure in three towns - Byadagi, Davanagere, and Harihara. The project will also improve water resource planning, monitoring, and service delivery. Projects 2 and 3 activities are being selected based on (i) IWRM improvements impact on the State‘s water resources, (ii) ULBs reform willingness, and on (iii) infrastructure gaps 1. Sub Project Description: The entire scheme for implementing 24 x 7 water supply of Davanagere City has been divided under two Sub projects i.e. 1) Improvement of Bulk Water Supply System up to WTP and 2) Improvement of Clear Water Transmission Main and 24X7 Distribution System. The Present DDR is for the Improvement of water supply distribution network which includes laying of clear water transmission main from WTPs (Bathi and Kundwada) to OHTs of Davanagere city, construction of 19 OHTs, laying of 1163 KMs of water supply distribution network. Rehabilitation of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical works of three existing WTPs and 30 reservoirs. It also includes providing of 97587 House Service Connections. 2.

Land Acquisition and Resettlement in project: The site verification reveals that all the components of the water supply distribution network sub projects are located on vacant government land and ROW. There is no land acquisition under the proposed subproject. The engineering designs adopted ensure that routing of pipelines and mains within the public ROW‘s are through stretches where the roads are wide and will allow for construction with little or no impact on structures alongside 4. Temporary Resettlement Impact: Public consultation and discussions with the consultant reveal that full closure of roads is not envisaged and it will be possible to maintain access to shops and businesses at all times. The site verification reveals that all the components of the water supply and distribution sub projects are either located on vacant government land or along the existing right-of-way (RoW) outside and within the city. 5. Consultation and Disclosure: Goals and objectives of the project have been disclosed to stakeholders (beneficiaries, affected persons, elected representatives and institutional stakeholders) through consultation meetings and focus group discussions. A program of continuous consultation and disclosure is proposed. 6. Conclusion: ADB‘s criteria (ADB‘s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009) for screening and categorization of projects for involuntary resettlement will be adopted for the projects. Based on the assessment, the subproject has been categorized as ―C‖ for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impact. Efforts have been made during the preparation of the engineering design to avoid acquisition of land and other assets and to reduce negative socioeconomic impact. Economic displacement resulting from partial closure of roads during construction is avoidable and manageable through good implementation of the EMP. It is anticipated that there will be no permanent or temporary impact either through acquisition (no acquisition) or construction. Based on the above assessments the subproject has been categorized as ―C‖ for Involuntary Resettlement (IR) impact as per the ADB‘s Safeguard Policy Statement, 2009 Hence no Resettlement Plan needs to be prepared for this sub project. III Water supply Distribution net work Davanagere 1 I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION A. Introduction 2. ADB is helping the Indian state of Karnataka improve water resources management in selected urban areas of the Upper Tunga Bhadra sub-basin. Water supply and waste water systems suffer from under-investment throughout the state of Karnataka. Current water supply is intermittent. The absence of scientific wastewater treatment and sewerage systems contaminates ground water posing a health risk to the public. If the issues associated with the poor water management in the state are not resolved,
